Chapter 307: Chapter 34 Family Matters Chapter 307: Chapter 34 Family Matters “Your new car?” Charlize gave Kate’s red Maserati a smirk as she asked.

Having just gotten out of the car, Kate was stunned for a moment before nodding, “Yes, new car.”

“I have one too, a silver one, a reward for my work, too bad I don’t have much time to drive it,” Charlize shrugged nonchalantly as she spoke, as if discussing trivial matters of life.

Kate’s expression immediately darkened, but she quickly flashed a smile, “You must really push yourself at work.”

The words “work” and “push yourself” were uttered with emphasis, coupled with her slightly mocking smile and ironically sincere tone, even Charlize couldn’t help but twitch her mouth.

“Isn’t it rare for you to come here when Ed isn’t around, what’s up?” Charlize offered Kate a glass of water after letting her into the house. Hearing her words, Kate looked surprised, “Wasn’t Ed supposed to be back yesterday?”

“Yesterday?” Charlize blinked, then let out a light chuckle as realization hit, “Ed called last night, he might be a day late coming back, I’m very sorry I didn’t inform you, Kate.”

The first part of her statement seemed fine, but the last sentence was very unpleasant to Kate, as Charlize spoke with an entitled tone, as if she was the lady of the house.

“Was something holding him back?” Kate took a deep breath in secret, maintaining a neutral tone.

“What else could it be, probably because he was having more fun with the new woman, so he wanted to stay another day,” Charlize shrugged casually, a look of indifference on her face.

“New… woman?” Kate frowned, grinding her teeth involuntarily, and her hands unknowingly clenched into fists, tightly gripped, “Are you talking about… Liv Tyler?”

“Liv Tyler? Don’t joke, Kate, Liv has been dating him for a long time; can she still be considered new?” Charlize started to laugh lightly. She was originally planning to tease Kate a bit longer, but when she saw the resentment in her expression, she felt an inexplicable sense of sympathy.

“Gwyneth Paltrow,” Charlize quickly said the name, “Ed probably met her at the end of last year, but they only got together now. Gwyneth’s father, Bruce, is a TV producer and her mother, Blythe, is quite a famous actress. She’s also an actress and has been in five films over three years without much impact, so…”

She stopped there and gestured to Kate as if to say “you know what I mean.” Kate bit her lip; her hands clenched into fists were slightly shaking, not sure what to say next. She was not unaware of Adrian’s women, including the one from the restaurant rescue, and the girl Sarah Michelle Gellar, with whom she had a decent relationship; Adrian had promised her that he would never hide anything as long as she asked.
